Afcon Qualifiers : Kenneth Omeruo Injured And Ruled Out Of Egypt Clash by Nobody: 11:52pm On Mar 18, 2016
Turkey based Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo has been knocked out of Nigeria’s double assault against Egypt, in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, owing to injury.Omeruo’s club, Kasimpasa, in the Turkish top flight, informed the Nigeria Football Federation that the defender is down with a groin injury that will sideline him for the next two weeks.

Super Eagles’ team administrator Dayo Enebi told thenff.com that this development has already been communicated to Head Coach Samson Siasia and the team medics.

“Omeruo’s injury and subsequent withdrawal from the Egypt games has been communicated to the coaches and the medics,” Enebi disclosed.

“The player is disappointed with his injury setback because he has been looking forward to this game with a lot of optimism. Expectedly, the coaches were also unhappy but they have wished him a quick recovery,” He added.

There are untested professional defenders round the globe who could also impress if given the chance.

It is left for Siasia to send out invitations to this players ASAP..

Nairaland is a well known and read forum. I believe it's was because of the clamoring from sports fan in this forum that lead to the invitation of Leon Balogun who was earlier left out of the Eagles squad by Siasia.

Please feel free to suggest players who could be possible replacement for the injured players..

Omeruo's injury is saddening bt that does nt spell doom for Nigeria as Balogun, Obaobona and Ambrose are all Centre back options. Any two of those three can form a Centre back pair.

I wish Omeruo speedily recovery. We need him in the heart of the defense for Rio Olympics.

Sir, Oboabona and Ambrose are good defenders but ....of late they have been performing below par. The game against Egypt is a must win match where there will be no rooms for silly mistakes or we get punished..

Any new kid on the block who could effectively pair Balogun in the heart of defense.

I must confess I am not comfortable seeing the likes of Ambrose, Oboabona and Shehu Abdullahi in defense. They are seem jittery and easily prone to errors and poor decision.

I am not comfortable with the defense.

My fears..

I say we call up Awaziem to camp. The FC Porto Nigerian Whizkid. I still believe if he is good enough for a club like FC Porto, the he is good enough for the Super Eagles.

We have some home based defenders in camp but I feel Awaziem should join the camp. Coach Siasia should try him. If Awaziem is good enough, he should play him.

The defensive line-up particulary a centre back pair is the mpst critical department of a team.

Yeah we need to see the new kids in d block coming up to take positions in d team. Bt not in this crutial game. As i said d CB pairing is highly critical which is why i dnt see Siasia. experimenting with a new kid in d block in d CB. Obaobona and Ambrose are well tested and experienced defenders hu i feel can rise to d occassion without jitters. Shehu abdullahi may b a weak pt which is y I would prefare Balogun starts from Right back.

The silly mistakes u talk abt would more likely occur if u throw in a debutant their.And U may feel Ambrose and Obaobona are bellow par bt d d depth of eexperience dey have at this level will count for much.Good Defensive play has a lot to do with co-ordination and understanding. These guys have been together for close to 4/5 yrs. I blieve they can form dat formidable pair.

With a defensive pairing of:
Balogun..Ambrose..Obaobona..Echiejile we are ready for Egypt.

Do you think Oboabona and Ambrose are good enough to start for FC Porto? If they are not, we are going with lesser quality defenders than Awaziem.

gbam...awaziem should be invited even though he won't make the starting line up....he is our future centre back...he is better than oboabona...@least he should gain small experience

Well, Siasia does nt think so. He has invited the very best he thinks he can work with to get the job done.

BTW have u watched any 90mins clip of Awaziem's game? Nt jst those YouTube 3-5 mins highlights.

No cause for alarm. There are far better defenders around. A defender that was voted by middlesbrough fans as the worst player to have ever played for them should not be commanding a regular shirt in the Nigerian team. I wish siasia goodluck as he picks a far more worthy replacement. #Nigeriawouldsoaroveregypt

Leon Balogun is also injured.

Samson Siasia should extend an invitation to Kenneth Otigba, William trust-ekong and Awaziem..
